IMPROVEMENT IN TABLE-FANS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thename.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, JOSEPH C. MCEWEN, of Micanopy,in'r the county ofAlachua. and State of Florida, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Table-Fan; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othersvskilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing' forming part of this specification, in which- 'lhefigure is a detail view of a table to which my improved fan has beenattached, part heilig broken away to show the construction.

My invention has for its object to furnish an iinproved fan or fly-brushfor keeping the iies from the table, and which shall be simple inconstruction, effective in operation, and easily-operated; and

i I t consists in the construction andcombination of the various part-sof the device, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the frame-work, and B is the top of the table, about` theconstruction of which parts there. is nothing new.

C is the fan or brush, which is attached, by means of a set-screw, tothe upper en d 0f the vertical shaft D, which passes down through thetop B of the table, and the lower end of which revolves in a socket inthe cross-bars of the lower part of the frame-work A of the table.

To the lower part ot the shaft D is attached a cord',

E, which makes one or more turns around said shaft.-

One end of the cord E is attached to the lower end of the spring l?, theupper end of which is attached to the frame A of the table.

The cord E passes over a guide-pulley, G, piroted to the frame A of thetable, and its other 4end is attached to the treadle H.

By this construction, by bearing 4down upon the treadle H the fan orbrush will be revolved in one direction, and when the treadle Hisreleased the said tan -or brush will be revolved in the other directionoy the spring F.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Let-ters Patenti The combinationof the fan or brush C, shaft D, cord E, spring F,- and treadle H, witheach other and with the fraxneA and top B of a table, substantially asherein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth. v JOSEPH C.'MCEWEN.
